The research has been performed on successive industrial melts. Each time ca 2000 kg of liquid metal was modified. The rare earth metals were put into the ladle during tapping of heat melt from the furnace. Because of this the amount of sulphur in the cast steel was decreased and the non-metallic inclusion morphology was significantly changed. It was found that non metallic inclusions the cracking mechanism of Charpy specimens and the impact strength were all changed. The following properties were tested: mechanical properties (σy, σUTS), plastic properties (necking, elongation) and impact strength (SCI). In the three-point bend test the KJC stress intensity factor was evaluated.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Wide – Ranging Influence of Mischmetal on Properties of GP240GH Cast Steel}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/87101/PDF/14_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10266-012-0112-z}, keywords={mechanical properties, Cast carbon steel, Modification, REM, non-metallic inclusions}, }
